- Project: the basic Logic file
- Audio track: audio region used for playback, editing, and recording
- Software instrument track and Instrument Slot: part of the arrange area that is used for playback, recording, and editing of MIDI audio
- MIDI region: a rectangular object that is on a software instrument track that contains MIDI information (notes or commands) created with a MIDI keyboard
- Arrange window: the whole logic window that is open
- Inspector: the section on the left that shows the information for the selected area or editor
- Toolbar: you can set it to display shortcuts for editing tools or functions
- Editors - tools: where you edit audio and MIDI regions
- Transport bar: playback controls
- Media area: opens/closes bin, loops, library, and browser tabs on the right
- Bin tab: a place where audio files are stored
- Loops tab: where you can find prerecorded musical phrases or riffs (different instruments, genres, etc.)
- Library tab: a way to access channel strip settings
- Browser tab: an area used to browse, select, and manage all types of media
- Bar ruler: the section at the top of the arrange area that looks like a ruler, that measures the time - easy way to skip to a certain point in the track
- Playhead: the playback controls at the bottom of the arrange window
- Left and Right locators: the ends of the selected region up in the bar ruler
- Cycle function: a function that constantly repeats the area between the left and right locators
- Apple Loops: prerecorded musical phrases or riffs (different instruments, genres, etc.)
- Channel strip: the area on the left side of the arrange window that shows things like effects, inserts, sends, and levels
- Audio channel strip vs. Instrument channel strip: the audio channel strip controls the playback and recording of audio signals on an audio track, and an instrument channel strip allows you to use and control software instruments
- Metronome: the button is on the lower right hand side, and looks like a little metronome; produces a click in the project's tempo that can be heard during recording or playback
- Count-in: clicks heard before the start of a recording to let you know the projects tempo
- Input slot: a panel on the audio channel strip where you can assign the channel strip input
- Output: used to set the channel strip's output path
- Insert slot: a panel on a channel strip where you insert an effect plug-in
- Input Monitoring: allows you to hear incoming audio when audio tracks are playing or recording
- Take: a recording
- Take folder: a container for multiple-take recordings
- Drag editing: editing by cutting, dragging, and moving take folder and take region elements
- Flex marker: a marker that you drag to alter the timing of audio material
- Flex view: an arrange area view that allows you to edit the timing of audio material
- Beat Mapping: right-click on "tempo" in the global tracks section of the arrange window and select "configure global tracks", and you can record a sample in this function that you can then edit to play at a specific tempo
- Flex Time editing: a process that allows you to edit the timing of single or multiple audio regions
- Transient marker: a marker that denotes a significant point or peak in an audio file
- Transient detection process: a process that analyzes audio for transients (and marks them and stores them in the audio files) the first time you enable a track for flex time editing
- Quantization: the process of correcting the timing of your material
- Quantize pop-up menu: a menu in the region parameter box that allows you to set the value used for quantization
- Five tools for Mixing: volume level (faders), panning (L/R), processing tools, automation, and effects
- Signal Flow - Sends: how everything is mapped
- Automation: the ability to record, edit, and play back the movements of all knobs, controls, and buttons on channel strips and plug-ins
- Freeze Tracks: like bouncing, without bouncing - it applies the effects without making the computer perform them live each time
- Bouncing: exporting the final audio track
